Isn’t it funny how we can just go about our existence and not even sense the wonder of the world around us? It is so common for us just to keep on the daily grind of life with out acknowledging the wonder of the gift of existence. Do we appreciate the air that we breath, the wonderful ability our joints and muscles have or the fragrant beauty of a flower? Not often, that’s for sure.
And if we don’t appreciate it, make the ordinary, extraordinary, how can we expect the students in our care to appreciate the beauty. With the bombardment of technology and the modern world filling the consciousness of our kids, how are they ever able to process the beauty of simply living?
Like in so much we do as teachers, we need to make the unconscious beauty of life, conscious. We need to show our students the wonder of life, by embracing it ourselves. Food for thought . . . watch the video below and then show your students, your family and your friends. Did it make a difference in your life? It sure did mine.
Keep on learning,
Dave
